Hopefully a few times a week. It would be good to know when that particular butcher is on duty.

Case in point: I picked up a few bone-in rib eyes last year from a store I don't usually go to because I'd had some very bad customer experiences with their butcher shop and manager. So without feeling a tiny bit bad about it, I picked up about 8 of those rib-eyes that were mislabelled as "bone-in blade steaks" as they were basically 65% off.

I even let a couple of beginning grillers who were with me know about the mistake, as there were plenty left. They snapped up the rest.

What's interesting is that we all went back the next 3 days (sometimes with a few other couples) and did the same thing. If the butcher hadn't previously been such a jerk and if the manager hadn't basically ignored me, maybe I'd have done differently..... nah, I'd have still kept quiet.

Unlike propane, you'll never wake up scorched and naked in another county because you mishandled a bag of briquettes.

Nothing wrong with that at all.. I don't even think you would get bad bbq karma from doing that. LOL

Not only that but I figure I gained some BBQ karma just for introducing a few new grillers to the bone-in rib eye steak. I got to try some of their first attempts and they did a great job. Before that they were afraid to grill T-bones and rib eyes because they didn't think they could do them justice. So that's a double-score!
